Weekends with Daddy


Pumpkin Fest, originally uploaded by cheryl.

With my new work schedule - working weekend nights and sleeping weekend days - the boys have been spending their days away from school with Daddy. Sometimes they just hang out at the house or in the back yard, but sometimes they go on weekend adventures.

This weekend, the boys were kept busy. Saturday they spent the morning at the big city park on the water reservoir near our old house (the one I used to take Connor to a lot on our Mommy & Me days). After that, they had lunch at Chick-fil-a and spent several more hours playing on the indoor playland. The day ended with a visit to see Great Grandma Jo at her house. The boys love to visit over there, as she always has sweet treats at her house!

On Sunday, Daddy took the boys to meet up with Grammy and Pappy at the university club (where we swim all summer long with Grammy). They were hosting the university alumni club's annual Pumpkin Fest - meaning the boys had a big time bouncing and sliding on the big inflatables, seeing all the animals at the petting zoo, painting little pumpkins (well, Connor did anyway) and enjoying tasty treats. They also got to spend time with a lot of the extended family. Aunt Kelly and her stepdaughter Jayden were there. And cousin Amy brought her two little ones, cousins Ryleigh and Cruz.

The good news is the boys are having fun. The bad news is Daddy rarely takes the camera. You can hear about their adventures, but you probably won't see many of them!
